  • Business Banking Service Quality - Great Britain
    Business banking service quality - Great Britain Independent service quality survey results Business current accounts Published August 2019 As part of a regulatory requirement, an independent survey was conducted to ask customers of the 14 largest business current account providers if they would recommend their provider to other small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs*). The results represent the view of customers who took part in the survey. These results are from an independent survey carried out between July 2018 and June 2019 by BVA BDRC as part of a regulatory requirement, and we have published this information at the request of the providers and the Competition and Markets Authority so you can compare the quality of service from business current account providers. In providing this information, we are not giving you any advice or making any recommendation to you. SME customers with business current accounts were asked how likely they would be to recommend their provider, their provider’s online and mobile banking services, services in branches and business centres, SME overdraft and loan services and relationship/account management services to other SMEs. The results show the proportion of customers of each provider who said they were ’extremely likely’ or ‘very likely’ to recommend each service. Participating providers: Allied Irish Bank (GB), Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Clydesdale Bank, Handelsbanken, HSBC UK, Lloyds Bank, Metro Bank, NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, Santander UK, The Co-operative Bank, TSB, Yorkshire Bank. Approximately 1,200 customers a year are surveyed across Great Britain for each provider; results are only published where at least 100 customers have provided an eligible score for that service in the survey period.

  • Change of Name Faqs
    Change of name FAQs On 14 February 2020, The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (the Group) announced its intention to change the Group’s company name from ‘The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc’ to ‘NatWest Group plc’. It’s anticipated that the name change will become effective later in 2020. 1. Why is the Group changing its name? Given the Group’s progress, the solid financial footing it is now on and the forward- looking customer focused strategy it is implementing, the Board considers this the right time for the Group name to reflect the brand under which the majority of its business is delivered: NatWest. 2. What will happen to the ordinary and/or preference shares I currently hold in the Group? The ordinary and/or preference shares you currently hold in the Group (‘RBS shares’) will continue to exist once the name is legally changed, but the RBS shares will become shares in NatWest Group plc. There will be no change to nominal value or structure of your shareholding as a result of the change of name. 3. What will happen to the share price? This is a legal name change. The share price is influenced by many factors and can go up as well as down. 4. Will I receive a new share certificate? If you hold your RBS shares in certificated form, you won’t receive a new share certificate in the new company name; your existing share certificate(s) will remain valid. Any share certificates issued following the legal change of name will be in the name of NatWest Group plc.

ISSN 0968-5650 http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/6739/ Deposited on: 27 August 2009 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Financial History Review 9 (2002), pp. 21–39 Printed in the United Kingdom © 2002 Cambridge University Press. ‘Penny banks’ in Glasgow, 1850–19141 DUNCAN M. ROSS University of Glasgow When William Callender of Royal Bank of Scotland’s Glasgow office died in May 1868, there was found, folded in the pocket of his greatcoat, a handwritten list of those ‘penny banks’ that he had played a significant role helping to create.2 It begins with Barony Penny Bank, opened on 15 May 1852, and concludes with Working Men’s Provident Bank in Partick, that commenced on 18 March 1865. Over the intervening period, Callender had been involved in the promotion of 23 others, including some located far from Glasgow, such as at Broughty Ferry, Dundee; Padiham, Yorkshire; and Greenwich, Kent. That Callender contributed so much to the ‘penny bank’ movement and appeared to value these institutions so highly that he carried this note about with him at all times supports the Glasgow Herald’s 1860 description of his relationship to ‘penny banks’ as one of ‘the first who made the principle a living fact’.3 It also reveals something of the commitment of bank officers working in other institutions to the ‘penny bank’ cause. This was very much part of the middle-class and philanthropic attitude that sustained ‘penny banks’ and saw them develop as one of the most remarkable social phenomena of the nineteenth century.
